Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle but also to the froward. 19For this is thankworthy: if, for conscience towards God, a man endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully. 20For what glory is it, if, committing sin and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently: this is thankworthy before God. 21For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps. 22Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. 23Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not, but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly. 24Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed. 25For you were as sheep going astray: but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
